does anyone else seem to have as much trouble with docs and hospitals as me??
just completly lost my rag at an appointment.
first off i didnt even know what it was, then when i got there they said for a consultant so persumed it was for my medical condition ( brain condition) only to be told they knew nothing of it and i was there because of my weight so already i was pissed off.
then in walks a woman who thinks she knows everything and imformes me my medical condition is to do with blood vessels!! wow in the almost two years for 3 different specialists i was informed it was my spinal cord and brain, and everything you look up regarding it seems to say the same so straight away realised she was a moron.
then she proceeded to tell me id need a booked c section, no chance, when i informed her i cant have an epidural due to my condition she just replied snotty ' well i'll just get an anaesthetists opinion' love you can get what ever opinion you want the countries leading specialist in my condition has already told me under no circumstances am i allowed an epidural so even if your anaesthetist tells me i can ill be telling them where they can stick it.
My actual consultant who im under was then brought into the room as id told this stupid woman i was no longer listening to what she had to say as she didnt know her ass from her elbow.
the actual consultant said he wasnt experienced enough, would speak to my brain specialist, request a few more scans to get better info and aslong as they saw no issue i could try a natural birth, the stupid cow churped in then complaning id told her i cant have a n epidural to which hes said no she cant so she was pretty pissed off by the looks of things.
im so annoyed that she even stuck her oar in, had she come in asking about my condition instead of clearly thinking she knew everything id have been ok but to come and tell me something that was utter tripe im ust not willing to listen
needless to say ive contacted my midwife to say im not satisfied at all with the hospital, have no confidence in the staff and requesting a different location with staff that know what they are doing.
if i knew 100% id get the gentleman who seemed to have his head screwed on id happily go but knowing my luck id get this stupid understudy bitch that prob wont know what end of the baby is what!!

ive really had enough

she couldnt even give me a straight answer to a question i had about traces of blood being found in my urine.......
i asked is it quite common? to which she replied 'no, but it can be.......
wtf!! so is it or isnt it u condersending prat

its about the closest ive ever come to standing up and headbutting a dr in all my life

ahhhhhhhhhhh wish id never gone

well rant over lol, so good to be able to come here and rant and rave and have people that understand instead of shouting like the OH has spent the last hour doing
i dont think i should be expected to go to a hospital i have no faith in what so ever
id be better at home in the bath

just want to curl up in a corner, cry myself to sleep and wake up in 6 months :cry::cry::cry:
 
I apologize I had trouble reading the post so I only made it about half way before giving up. Sorry you are having a bad experience.
 
I wouldn't want to go there either after that experience hun, hopefully your midwife can sort out a different hospital for you, drs really annoy me sometimes, im sure most of them skip the bedside manner part of learning.
Sending you a big :hugs: xxx
 
I left a message with my midwife and she's just got back to me, she agreed that there was no good to come of me going there again so moved me to another local hospital that's better equipped to deal with complications. I think it's only a mile further away than the original one. If all else fails i'll go back to my mum and dads and see if my neurologist can attend or advise staff better. I know it's all little things but with my history stressing about the doctor was the last thing I needed.
I Defo agree on the bedside manner too, dr's just arnt like they used to be xx
